The Brilliant Life of a Post-Apocalyptic Female Boss Reborn at 70

Xin Yi explained, "Don't listen to these aunties' nonsense. They're just talking. Ultimately, it depends on your own thoughts. What if Aunt Liu's son is a handsome man? Would you agree to marry him?"

"A handsome man? That depends on how handsome he is. Could he be more beautiful than my sister Yiyi? If that's the case, I'll really have to consider it!"

"Oh, you little brat, you're actually teasing me? Looks like I still don't understand the situation. Could it be that you like me?"

As he spoke, he reached out and touched Liu Mengting's waist. Liu Mengting jumped in fright, screamed, and ran away.

"Little lady, you can't escape my grasp. You'd better submit to me!"

The two chased and fought their way back to the educated youth settlement.

This also allowed most of the villagers to see the newly arrived female educated youth.

As soon as they returned to the educated youth settlement, the two of them stopped their playful fighting in perfect unison.

What happened at the educated youth settlement after they left was unknown to them.

Back in their room, the two lay down on the bed to rest; walking all afternoon had been exhausting.

Fang Yi walked into the room carrying a basin full of clothes. When she saw Xin Yi and the other person return, she was about to speak, but then she seemed to remember something, silently withdrew her gaze, quietly took a few of her own clothes, and went out.

"Sister Yiyi, Wu Lei is going too far! He actually gave his dirty clothes to Sister Fangyi to wash. Doesn't he have hands? They're not even married yet, but I can already imagine Sister Fangyi carrying the baby on her back while serving him like a slave after they get married. The more I think about it, the angrier I get!"

"Some people need to suffer a bit before they make up their minds and suddenly realize their mistakes. Let's just be bystanders. Don't worry, our turn will come!"

"I just feel a little reluctant. I will never let myself be so subservient in my marriage again!"

"Alright, let's rest for a bit. After work, Uncle Zhang will definitely send someone to let us know to go and get our share of the wild boar meat. Then we can go to Aunt Zhang's place to exchange it for some potatoes and chili peppers. Let's eat our fill tonight!"

Soon, night falls.

Zhang Erge arrived at the educated youth settlement and informed everyone to go to the threshing ground to distribute wild boar meat.

The educated youth arrived at the threshing ground one after another, where all the villagers of Dahe Village were already waiting to receive their share of wild boar meat.

Village chief Zhang Laifu walked over with a smile, followed by several villagers carrying two large pieces of wild boar meat.

"Don't rush, everyone! Everyone gets a share! Let me say a few words first!" the village chief said loudly.

"Ahem, this wild boar was brought back to the village by the three newly arrived educated youths, Xin, Liu, and Fang, who went deep into the mountains. They carried it back to the village and have now been distributed to our Dahe Village. So, on behalf of the village, I'm awarding Xin, who contributed the most, two hundred work points, plus a pig's leg, five catties of ribs and lean meat, and the other two educated youths one hundred work points each!"

As soon as the village chief finished speaking, the surrounding villagers made a commotion.

One villager complained, "This is too much! They're giving us extra meat and work points!"

Upon hearing this, the village chief's face immediately turned extremely ugly.

"Is that what you all think?"

No one in the crowd responded; it seemed that most people thought there were too many Xin Yis.

Zhang Laifu understood what everyone meant and couldn't help but feel uneasy. He pondered for a while.

"Since everyone feels this is unfair, then let the three female educated youths take the wild boar back. There's no need for everyone to share it. Let's all go home and disperse!"

This was like stirring up a hornet's nest. Everyone finally realized how wrong their thoughts were. The wild boar was hunted by someone else, and it was already very kind of them to share most of the meat with everyone.

Everyone glared angrily at the villager who had spoken earlier, blaming him for talking nonsense and angering the village chief. If the female educated youth really took back the wild boar, then they would have to wait until the New Year to have fresh pork.

Realizing he had done something wrong, the man could only explain, "I was just saying it casually, don't take it seriously, don't take it seriously, hehe!"

Zhang Laifu wasn't going to tolerate him. He looked directly at Xin Yi and said, "Xin Zhiqing, you decide. If you regret sharing the pork with everyone, I agree that you can take it back. Anyway, these are all a bunch of ingrates!"

Xin Yi felt the longing looks on everyone's eyes. Oh well, it's just that this era has influenced everyone. There's no need for her to argue with them.

"Uncle Zhang, let's share it with everyone. If you really think I've taken too much, I can take less!"

Xin Yi's answer did not disappoint Zhang Laifu. Looking at the young girl in front of him, he saw that she was so open and honest.

Zhang Laifu looked around and said, "Since Xin Zhiqing has spoken, then I accept it on behalf of everyone. But you can't get a penny less of the reward you're entitled to. Anyone have any objections? Step forward!"

Everyone nodded repeatedly, "Of course!"

"Yes, Xin Zhiqing was a good one!"

Seeing that no one objected, Zhang Laifu continued, "Then let's start dividing the pork now, so everyone can go back and cook sooner!"

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone rushed forward, eager to see the wild boar in its entirety.

"This wild boar is quite big; the meat alone must weigh over 200 pounds!"

"Yeah, these female educated youths are amazing!"

Xin Yi and Liu Mengting excitedly gathered around.

Brother Zhang picked up a knife and skillfully cut the wild boar meat into small pieces, giving everyone a generous portion of meat.

"Thank you, village chief! Thank you, Xin Zhiqing!" everyone said in unison.

Xin Yi only took the ribs, and said she would get the rest of the meat from the village chief's house the next day. She and Liu Mengting, who was carrying her share of wild boar meat, happily returned to their room.

"I can enjoy a delicious meal tonight!" Liu Mengting said happily.

"That's right, let's go find Aunt Zhang and exchange some potatoes and peppers, then we'll cook a pot of delicious braised pork ribs with potatoes!"

After Xin Yi finished speaking, she pulled Liu Mengting toward Aunt Zhang's house.

Xin Yi and Liu Mengting went to Aunt Zhang's house and traded some fruit candies for some potatoes and peppers.

They returned to the educated youth settlement with great joy and began preparing dinner.

The kitchen was filled with a delicious aroma. Xin Yi skillfully chopped potatoes and peppers, while Liu Mengting helped out.

Soon after, a steaming pot of braised pork ribs with potatoes was served.

Xin Yi and Liu Mengting couldn't wait to taste it; it was incredibly delicious. They then stir-fried a cabbage.

While Xin Yi wasn't looking, Liu Mengting secretly ladled out a bowl of pork ribs, intending to send it to Fang Yi.

Xin Yi had actually noticed, but she didn't say anything. She was already hesitating about whether to share some with the other educated youth, since they would see each other all the time and they still had to maintain a superficial relationship.

Liu Mengting had made the choice for me, so it wasn't my concern who would get to eat it.

The other educated youth at the settlement were also eating, and there was a rare dish of meat on the table.

Everyone was filled with anticipation when they saw Liu Mengting bring out the ribs; after all, the irresistible aroma was undeniable.
